1. WHAT ARE THE ONLINE OPTIONS WITH MORPH OS2 WITH EFIKA? IS        THERE A WIRELESS OPTION OR SUPPORT, (I see a serial port)

2. burning cd/dvd is limited to usb?


How about a USB wifi adapter or Ethernet to wifi adapter?

BoingBoing - Linksys Ethernet to wifi

So, yes - it's possible to do.

Assuming Poseidon will support the USB wifi.
I think, Therefore - Amiga....

That's what I was trying to figure out!
thanks :-)


Yes, but an Ethernet to Wifi adapter doesn't require drivers. Neither does an Ethernet bridge, just a TCP/IP stack on the system which MorphOS has.

So, you hook the Efika into the adapter/bridge and use it to communicate with the wireless system.

USB wss just a secondary idea because I wasn't sure that Poseidon had drivers for USB wifi like it does for USB NICs.

Well, it doesn't have WiFi drivers. Too many chipsets and WiFi stack to implement.


   Thanks, Yes - I understand but there is a solution for the guy to use wireless with MorphOS. (Bridge or Ethernet to wifi adapter.)

   I can certainly understand not implementing too many chipsets. It would take forever. I thought there might be  a few more common that would be useful to users of MorhpOS or AmigaOS? I didn't know if there were a few in there as I didn't have time to go read the support page right then. :-) I figured he could go check. :-)
